still sick with eurovision

i’m still sick. while the throat has eased off, the sinuses have become a warzone.

nevertheless, i took a few hours to drag myself from death’s doorstop to peruse the final eurovison episode for the year and i have to announce my disappointment.

not in the choice – whilst not my kind of song i appreciate the effect its singer surely had on the ladies if my wife’s giggling was any indication. no, my gripe came more because of the previous two-nights’ hosts being notably absent. i was enjoying their antics greatly. it was like watching a comedy duo lacking any comedy talent and resorting instead to groping and switching their wardrobe in an effort to maintain interest. it left me wondering if the bimbo’s partner had come hunting for the lecher who couldn’t keep his hands off her boobs all night. the poor girl was unable to defend herself either physically or intellectually, so you really did feel sorry for her by the end of the second night. she was embarassing herself.

all the same, it was giving me the giggles, so i’m a bit sad they weren’t there for the final night. i’m also sad ukraine didn’t do better. skirts like that should be promoted at every opportunity on eurovision. i’d also like to special mention andrew lloyd weber’s u.k. offering – eww that was so bad, so it was perfect for eurovision. i always thought his work belonged there.

i noticed a few songs deserved some punk music. in particular, i think the moldovan entry needed a bit of guitar and you’d have a great ska song…

moldova’s ska entry

in any case, it was a rather anti-climactic night as all landslides usually are, and i feel a little cheated by the whole thing. let’s hope next year can be worse. i love it when they’re bad.

and the winner is: norway
